I saw Diesel at the Union 76 listed for $4.99 a gal.

there is quite a bit of tax on Diesel fuel. correct me if Iam wrong here, but I seem to have read that back in the Clinton administration. Mr. Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, and probably the inventor of Global Warming.
They started taxing the different fuels on the energy content of ea one. Diesel has something like 12 - 15% more energy than Gasoline (BTU).

I don`t know how much the tax is, but look at off road Diesel compared to Hwy Diesel in price. even off road still has taxes in the price.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
